FOUR HORSEMEN is an award winning independent feature documentary which lifts the lid on how the world really works. FOUR HORSEMEN is free from mainstream media propaganda -- the film doesn't bash bankers, criticise politicians or get involved in conspiracy theories.

Seeds of Permaculture (New, Feb 2014)

One of the reasons for shooting this film is the global climate change. All around the world, as you know, places are experiencing odd weather events.
All around the world, whether you're in South America, in North America, in Europe, in Asia, people are experiencing weather patterns that are out of the norm. So, one of the reasons that permaculture is getting so popular right now, growing faster than ever before, on an exponential curve of growth, is because our planet needs it. It's time for the important changes that permaculture has to give. People are becoming less and less self-sufficient around the world, these local communities that were previously growing everything themselves and knew how to build their own houses out of natural materials are completely dependent on big foreign powers and import from other countries.

The Sixth Extinction (New, Feb 2014)

Throughout the history of evolution five great catastrophes have affected the Earth's surface. After them, life had to re-organize itself as of the surviving species. Today, 27.000 species disappear each year, a figure equal or higher than the one which devastated the Earth during the previous extinction processes. Are we facing the Sixth Extinction? Is human being responsible for this ecological disaster? This documentary investigates these questions to offer a track to find answers.

The Great Turning (New, Feb 2014))

Eco-philosopher Joanna Macy, author of "The Work That Reconnects", speaks here about the concept of a Great Turning. We had the Agricultural Revolution. We had the Industrial Revolution. Many people are referring to the next one as The Great Turning, and it's happening fast, starting now.  It requires new structures, new ways of doing things, all founded on a basis of new values. She describes it as a transition from an industrial growth society to a "Life Sustaining Society". This will be scientific and a spiritual revolution, beyond merely an environmental movement. - See more here.

Sacred Economics 

Sacred Economics traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has contributed to alienation, competition, and scarcity, destroyed community, and necessitated endless growth. Today, these trends have reached their extreme - but in the wake of their collapse, we may find great opportunity to transition to a more connected, ecological, and sustainable way of being.

Consuming Kids 

Consuming Kids throws desperately needed light on the practices of a relentless multi-billion dollar marketing machine that now sells kids and their parents everything from junk food and violent video games to bogus educational products and the family car. Drawing on the insights of health care professionals, children’s advocates, and industry insiders, the film focuses on the explosive growth of child marketing in the wake of deregulation, showing how youth marketers have used the latest advances in psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience to transform American children into one of the most powerful and profitable consumer demographics in the world. Consuming Kids pushes back against the wholesale commercialization of childhood, raising urgent questions about the ethics of children’s marketing and its impact on the health and well-being of kids.

Bhopali 

The name "Bhopal" is now synonymous with the biggest industrial catastrophe in history, the leak at the Union Carbide factory on the night of December 2, 1984. The mixture of toxic gasses escaping from the building took the lives of thousands of people and caused grave and chronic health problems for hundreds of thousands more. That's the history, but this documentary shows that the disaster isn't over yet. The polluted site has never been properly cleaned up, so about 30,000 people continue to drink contaminated water. Sidesh is one of the many children in Bhopal with congenital defects or diseases. The people at the Chingari Rehabilitation Center are trying to take care of them, but with their limited means this is no easy task. Sanjay Verma, who was six months old at the time of the disaster and lost almost his entire family, has been fighting a relentless battle to force Dow Chemical (the group that took over Union Carbide) to take responsibility for the tragedy. But the Indian government now categorically denies that any chemical contamination exists, while Warren Anderson, former CEO of Union Carbide, is enjoying his retirement. The protest organized by the people of Bhopal on the 25th anniversary of the disaster shows that the problem is still as urgent as ever.

A Thousands Suns

A Thousand Suns tells the story of the Gamo Highlands of the African Rift Valley and the unique worldview held by the people of the region. This isolated area has remained remarkably intact both biologically and culturally. It is one of the most densely populated rural regions of Africa yet its people have been farming sustainably for 10,000 years. Shot in Ethiopia, New York and Kenya, the film explores the modern world's untenable sense of separation from and superiority over nature and how the interconnected worldview of the Gamo people is fundamental in achieving long-term sustainability, both in the region and beyond.

Flow: For Love of Water

Irena Salina’s award-winning documentary investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century – The World Water Crisis. Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world’s dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel. Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question “CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?” Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround.

First Earth: 
Uncompromising Ecological Architecture

First Earth is not a how-to film; rather, it’s a why-to film. It establishes the appropriateness of earthen building in every cultural context, under all socio-economic conditions, from third-world communities to first-world countrysides, from Arabian deserts to American urban jungles. In the age of environmental and economic collapse, peak oil and other converging emergencies, the solution to many of our ills might just be getting back to basics, focusing on food, clothes, and shelter. We need to think differently about house and home, for material and for spiritual reasons, both the personal and the political.

The Coconut Revolution

This is the modern-day story of a native peoples remarkable victory over Western Colonial power. A Pacific island rose up in arms against giant mining corporation Rio Tinto Zinc (RTZ) – and won despite a military occupation and blockade. When RTZ decided to step up production at the Panguna Mine on the island of Bougainville, they got more than they bargained for. The islands people had enough of seeing their environment ruined and being treated as pawns by RTZ. RTZ refused to compensate them, so the people decided it was time to put an end to outside interference in the islands affairs. To do this they forcibly closed down the mine. What was happening within the blockade was an environmental and spiritual revolution. The ruins of the old Panguna mine were being recycled… to supply the raw materials for the worlds first eco-revolution. A David and Goliath story of the 21st century, The Coconut Revolution will appeal to people of all backgrounds.
